A team of local professionals worked together to create this styled shoot

When we saw these gorgeous images land in our inbox, we just knew our lovely readers would adore them. We spoke to the shoot coordinators Chris Andrews Photography and Hayley Rees from Misselthwaite Flowers Ltd to find out more: "We were all feeling quite down about weddings being cancelled during the pandemic, so we decided to come together to create this styled shoot. Chris suggested Ogmore by Sea Beach, which was perfect for sunset shots and his brilliant shooting style. Hayley used the ocean as inspiration for the artificial bouquet and flower crown that reflected the waves and unpredictability of the sea. We used a charity shop wedding dress to create this shoot, and it all worked together perfectly."
